This morning I had a very good first DSLR Photography Lesson with Terry in downtown Saint Petersburg. She shoots with a Canon 40D and has a Canon 24-105mm lens. She said her Canon 40D had been sitting in her closet for over a year! Well, we quickly put it to use this morning. In the lesson we covered how aperture and ISO relate to shutter speed and depth of focus, as well as which white balances to use when.
After photographing a few still subjects we moved on to moving subjects. Terry was quick to catch on to getting moving subjects in sharp focus culminating with a shot where we were able to see what coffee a guy in a car was drinking as he drove by.
We ended the 2-hour lesson with touching on how to use a speedlight (flash). Terry had never actually used hers and at first it wasn't working. I quickly discovered the problem--no batteries! So I lent her a set of batteries and a great blue heron very obligingly walked by at that time so she got to practice nature photography with flash, a very lucky occurrence!

Great to hear this is going well, can attest to Jason's DSLR knowledge as he basically taught me how to use a camera.
Thanks UK...it was a joyous day for me when you bought your Nikon D90!
I like classic car more then normal cars, classic cars have unique design and different look which is really attractive. I am sure DSLR photography student having wonderful experience of this classic car's photo-shoot
Yes, classic cars have a look and character that just cannot be found in modern cars. Unfortunately, the classic car in the photo is no longer parked in that spot as it had been for years.
